The tty* jobs are in the upstart package, and as it doesn't depend on upstart-compat-sysv, this is somewhat tricky.
I think the final solution is migrating essential things from rcS to upstart jobs. Then tty* can be made start on a suitable event from them. In the meantime, you can modify /etc/event.d/tty* to "start on rcS" instead of starting on "startup" (as long as you have upstart-compat- sysv installed). You might also want to add a "console output" or "console owner" line to /etc/event.d/rcS 1) to see rcS's output and 2) to be able to e.g. type a password if you have an encrypted partition. -- getty is run before it's usable https://launchpad.net/bugs/58630 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
